MUMBAI: DocuBay, the premium membership video-on-demand streaming service by IN10 Media Network, signed a global acquisition deal with US-based Big Media, a leading independent content production and distribution studio.

Notable titles acquired include:
-Germ Warfare: The Battle Against Superbugs analyses how science is fighting the rapidly emerging threat of antibiotic-resistant superbugs

DocuBay content acquisition head Adita Jain stated: “We’ve been really looking forward to launching a category on technology, and big media helped us realise this effort. Offering fresh, relevant content through categories like the new TechBay is critical to continually engage viewers. We have more new bays in store and can’t wait to share them with DocuBay’s global community of documentary film fans.”
